Diagrams Refract

So I guess his girlfriend hates me now
Because I let him in and allow
Him to take me to dance
Give love at first sight a second chance
And I won’t refuse him
If he knocks on my door
Prove to God
Who loves him more
And I know you’ve made him happy
And I don’t envy the task
But there is still so much
I’ve got to ask
You both coz I wanna be friends
With the two of you
Don’t doubt that
I love you too
Some kind of sister
In the scene
You were his twenty something dream
And I can only catch a glimpse of him
Through the photographs in which I swim
That you took
And I wrote a book
About the way feelings clash
Hot and cold fronts, smoke and ash
But I don’t want a showdown with fragrant air
I’m glad that you were there
To catch his tears and resound his laughter
And you’re cute but I know what you’re after
As you fool a second glance
In a sort of romance
But you gotta know
I gotta say
That I’ve loved him
In every way
Picked up the crumbs he dropped on the path
Be the beauty in the aftermath
And I don’t want an enemy
Or someone taking swipes at me
I just want to kneel as I confess
I envy you in that dress
And all that I missed out in the fire
You’re burning earth on the pyre
And I’m sure a furnace or two
Knows the depths and breadth of you
And you look at each other
But he is my soul brother
And I gotta let him know
Let the love show
In the diagrams refract
Is it okay if I come back
And be the mirror to reflect
Not something circumspect
But deep blue truth
That professed secrets of our youth
And he used to be an emotional kid
And I was straight laced, he took the lid
Off of all I can’t contain
I’m singing summertime in the rain
As we share each other’s speech
And he’s tall and got reach
And I know in his secret heart
He has held onto you
I know what he wants to do
And I can’t escape
From the flash of a red cape
As it floats in the mirror
And I was so blind I didn’t see her
As I made an overview of you
I mapped the things that you could do
And I give up the fight
Coz I wanna be a good person and alright
And I feel if you knew all there was to know
There is no way you would ever go
I keep hidden the best part of me
But I’m opening up so you see
All that’s left of what we were
It’s not a matter of me or her
